John Fryer (1839-1928) was an English missionary and

Driven by his intense interest in China, Fryer came to

St. Paul’s College. And in 1868, Fryer was employed/ x" L& Y2 `! k
by The Translation Department of Kiangnan Arsenal as$ q& f( P7 s s9 K
an editor and chief translator. During the 28 years on

Fryer adopted the Buddhist technique of oral instruction.6 R6 I( N2 y$ d+ q3 T: @- F

books that made him the most productive one among the& H% ?8 g9 T, q2 Q, ^
foreign translators of that time (Wang, 1998). For Fryer,# H+ A/ W2 L% w. v, k
translating Western scientific books into Chinese was a

also paid much attention to the dissemination of Western
